I also drove a Mazdaspeed 3 a couple weeks ago. That thing is a damned hoot, too, and from what I saw on some Mazda forums it would not be hard at all to get 400 hp out of that engine. Despite everything they did programing wise, though, the torque steer was quite pronounced...I can only imagine how hard that thing would be to hustle down the Tail of the Dragon...
